(As filed with the SEC)  

Alliant Techsystems Inc. ("ATK" or the "Company") is an advanced weapon and space systems company with approximately 16,000 employees and operations in 21 states. ATK was incorporated in Delaware in 1990 when Honeywell Inc. spun off its defense businesses to its stockholders. The spin-off became effective in September 1990, when Honeywell transferred to ATK substantially all of the assets and liabilities of those businesses. Honeywell subsequently distributed to its stockholders in October 1990 all of ATK's outstanding common stock on a pro rata basis. In 1995 we entered the aerospace market with the acquisition of Hercules Aerospace. Since then we have grown to become a leading supplier of aerospace and defense products to the U.S. government, allied nations, and prime contractors. We are also a major supplier of ammunition and related accessories to law enforcement agencies and commercial customers.  ... More ...
